Brothers Karamazov
Part l , Book I:

So far this is what I have read
Karamazov: the name is well-known in Russia. People associate that name with violence & Fyodor Karamazov was true to his name. His life of drinking never stopped & marriage did not stop his old lifestyle. His marriage was scandalous. Adelaida Ivanovna was nieve & thought he would change. After a while she realized that he wasn't going to change & to make matters worst she was pregenant with a son named Dmitri. After Dmitri was born she couldn't take the violence anymore so she left Dmitri & Fyodor. Fyodor searched for Adelaida. When he heard that she had past away he was drunk having orgies. Young Dmitri was handed from family member 2 family member & felt very neglected but always knew about his father & who he really is. After the 4 year old Dmitri was taken away . He got married a second time to a wonderful wife Sofia who convinced her to elope & was still having orgies in her presence.







Sofya Ivanovna was married to Karamazov's, but she was not happy because he was abusive towards her. They had 2 kids togheter Ivan & Alyosha. Soon after Sofia died & there servant who loved Sofia so much took the children as there guardian & protected them & gave them rubles for there education. Ivan became a brilliant student who started wriitng journals while Alyosha dveloped into a devoutly religious person, who was liked by everyone. Later on Alyosha returns to his fathers house & reunites with his brother & step brother ( Dmitri) but is kind of puzzled by Ivan's intellegance. He invites his father with wide open arms & never critisize him for his behavior. The Karamazov are reunited, Alyosha's concern was that Dmitri & the Father can discuss there differences in Father Zossima's cell (which is kind of like a church or Holy Place you can say).Alyosha fears the meeting though.

Re: Book Club

We don't want a summary because we're all going to be reading it. We're going to discuss the book as we go.

Re: Book Club

I am going to pick up reading that by then too. It's been a slow reading week and I've got a little Nabakov left still.
There'll be time to discuss with this one I think because it starts off a little slower.

Re: Book Club

Yeah, but I got an internship reading scripts and providing coverage on them, and it looks like it's going to be pretty overwhelming to balance alongside my schoolwork. If I add in the book club, I'll probably want to tear my eyes out from reading so much.
